Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Recycled Light Worsted-Weight Yarn for Knitting and Crochet, Royal Blue, 1 Pack, Wool and Acrylic Blend Fiber Perfect for Scarves, Hats and Blankets, 196 Yards

This yarn was a little thinner than I expected, but it ended up perfect for my project. It is soft and easy to work with for crochet. I didn’t have any issues with the yarn knotting easily. I would buy it again.

Good color. Not as thick as I wanted. Good for knitting, but not for wrapping small packages.

Made a lovely hat with ut.

I read the reviews before purchasing this so was aware it was not a true worsted weight yarn. I calculated the grist of the yarn (yds/lb) and it is a heavier DK--I was OK with that. What I'm NOT OK with is the quantity. Since it is only 3oz (rather than standard 4oz or 100gm balls) I needed to buy two so I'd have enough for the hat I was making. This makes it a more expensive yarn, especially for acrylic. I selected this yarn as it was the lesser of evils for acrylic yarn as it is from recycled materials. If I'm going to use plastic yarn at least it's not putting more plastic in the world. It also has a small 20% amount of wool. Typically I buy only natural fibers but I'm knitting hats to be given in return for donations and easy to care for yarn was requested. The yarn itself is pleasant--if doesn't squeak on my needles like some acrylic and has a nice texture with minimal fuzz.

This yarn is soft given the fact that it contains wool. The yarn is easy to work with and the finished product came out perfect. There was no fraying of the yarn.

this yarn feels pretty similar to soft hobby lobby acrylics such as yarntopia and sweet delight. the actual wool percentage (that isn’t recycled) is pretty low, but my cat who only messes with my wool yarn (in particular he’s obsessed with my knitting for olive merino) still tries to take this from me. the color options are pretty…limited. and oddly enough are super weirdly priced on here (as of right now one is as low as $3 while another is $13–for the same yarn just a different color);that’s probably just an amazon thing but it’s still pretty weird. overall this is a pretty good and sometimes affordable yarn, i would say it’s not exactly a worsted, probably a thicker dk. and it splits like no tomorrow, especially with sharper needles, but it’s really soft so that makes up for it. i used the pink for a baby onesie, and it’s really nice!!

CAUTION - This yarn is called out as a #4 wt. yarn. It is not. I cannot even consider it as a light #4. It is by far, not even close to that. It is more of a heavy #2. Very thin, and the skein for 3oz is a little bigger than the size for a 50 gm ball of sock wt. yarn. It's overall properties are much like the Caron Simply Soft brand. Slick and shiny, not toothy and wool like as the regular Wool Ease. Was very disappointed in what I got. Cannot use it for the project it was intended. It got 3 stars only for its nice color.

Just bought this yarn and was sceptical because people complained about it not being #4 weight. True it is not #4 weight, but it's a respectable #3 weight. I loved working with it. My stitches were well defined. The color was spot on with the online photos and a beautiful Christmas red. Crocheted a hat calling for #3 DK weight and it was true to gauge. So if you're looking for a wool blend DK yarn give it a try.

This wool is a lot thinner than their usual 4 weight Kinda disappointed

Works up nicely

Excelente 🥰

Not as thick as regular wool-ease 4 yarn... 🤷‍♀️

Stupid me, I looked at this and thought it was wool. It's 80% acrylic and only 20% wool. I should have read further and not just looked at the picture. Disappointed. I'll go ahead and make the hat with it anyways, but it's not what I wanted.
